" I adore Café Mak! The environment is so welcoming, and the interior design is inherently cozy. My friend and I enjoyed the iced soy milk latte together, perfect for a weekend catch-up. Although I wish they had more flavors available, I think the flavor of the soy latte was decent. I also loved how they kept the place clean and tidy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Café Mak. While the vibes are great and perfect for studying, I found their food options a bit limiting. I ordered a matcha latte that tasted okay, and the sandwich was just fine. I think the ambiance is the true star of the place, rather than the food itself. If you're looking for a study spot more than a dining experience, you'll do well here. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I loved the aesthetic of Café Mak, I was somewhat disappointed with the food. I ordered a chicken sandwich and found it rather bland. However, the ambiance was great for studying—plenty of outlets and nice lighting. I think I’ll give it another try and hope for a better food experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is always busy! The atmosphere is vibrant and creative, which makes studying there a enjoyable experience. Even though the coffee is a bit on the pricey side, the quality can be worth it. I've tried both their sweet potato cake and garlic toast; both were scrumptious! Just be mindful of your time, it can get quite hectic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Mak is a cute little cafe that I adore! Each time I visit, I find myself enjoying a different dish. This time, I opted for their tonkatsu and it was perfectly crispy—not oily, just how I like it. The prices can be a bit higher than expected, but the quality makes up for it! The staff was friendly and accommodating even though it was busy. I can’t wait to go back and sample something new. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited this café a few times and it’s become my favorite, especially for late-night study sessions. Foods are satisfying, but I find their prices a bit high considering the portion sizes. I had the honey brick toast, which was fantastic! While the food experience has been varied, the environment makes up for it. Definitely recommend if you need to focus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Mak has a charming vibe, but the service leaves much to be desired. I came in for a casual lunch and while I loved the decor, it felt like I was forgotten a few times by the staff. The food I ordered, garlic bread, was decent, and the ambiance made it easier to overlook the slow service. I’ll return but maybe for coffee only next time. " (*Curated Review*)
